The Ravenous is the codename given to Aether Scalpel's elite DA crew. These individuals are the most brutal, bloodthirsty, and insane creatures that have been spawned from the farthest reaches of the alliance's empire. Most of the Ravenous are psychopaths and mass murderers that Aether has taken under her wing. Now these creatures follow their commanders every order with glee, though many in the DA are unsure how Aether keeps these creatures in line.

The Ravenous plague the skies in Aether's flagship known as The Rack. When in the keep, Aether is the only member of The Ravenous that is allowed off of the ship to interact with the elders or the commonplace troops. Still, The Ravenous group has never docked in the keep for unknown reasons. It is rumored that the group has taken headquarters somewhere in the Hoofterlands, though no one has been crazy enough to attempt to follow The Ravenous group.

Cutie Mark (What's it look like?): A scalpel with an aether trail coming from the blade and a black ring

Special Talent (If pony or zebra): Pinpoint Accuracy Magical Force Application (Magic Scalpel, can cut nerves and muscles by touch). Once a doctor, she has a greatamount of medical experience and anatomical precision. Since being taken in by Necerion's brood, Aether has become one of his best field agents in bio-experimentation, torture, and unwilling extraction tactics. Aether has also spent time among the other broods as well as serving with Torlem's brood, gaining specialized martial training that suit her agical talent of the Aether Scalpel.

Personality: Often described as mad, and with good reason. Aether is almost forever the nonchalant pony, you can never quite tell her mood, and simple conversations with her are never quite what they appear to be. She's quite temperamental and is one of the few ponies in the DA that the younger dragon's do not like to deal with.

Bio: Once a doctor of the hospital, she was chief blood expert. She spent every waking hour with it, examining and experimenting with it. She had completed hundreds of transfusions and saved many lives as well. Yet one day, after hearing dozens of screams, royal guards entered the second to last floor to see the good doctor standing in a hall filled with the red nectar of the body. She was playing with the body in a way that left the guards sickened. As the guards attempted to restrain and capture her, every time Aether touched the guards, the touch area racked with pain as the muscles and nerves were internally cut apart. Finally, Aether left the guards dead and deformed next to the bodies of mares, stallions, and even children.That day... the demon of mercy walked out the front door of the hospital with blood on her body and a grin on her face. The exact reasons for her sudden insanity is unknown.

Still, after weeks of random acts of violence and experimenting on corpses left behind, Aether was finally apprehended by Balthier Breaker, SMoking Gun, and Captain Keelhaul. After having been escorted back to Canterlot for trial. She was sentenced to endure the Weight of Empathy. However the spell had a rather peculiar effect on the mare. While she endured the feelings of all her victim, she sat crying on the court floor. It wasn't until the room echoed with her laughter that the court realized she was too far gone. Knowing redemption was out of the question, Scarlet Rain... the Demon of Mercy... was sentenced to life imprisonment in Tartarus Max. Security Prison.

After a year in the hellhole known as Tartarus, Aether simply vanished from her cell. She must have been gone for days, the body in the cell was discovered to be an empty husk of a pony. Unbeknownst to the pony population. Necerion and the Alliance had taken note of the mad doctor and engineered the first and only escape from Tartarus.

Since her escape, Aether has been sighted here and there throughout Equestrian Territory. Having been accepted into Necerion's brood, the doctor has become the pony used for capturing high priority DA enemies, objects, and the occasional bits and pieces for Necerion. Her madness makes her hard to deal with, but nevertheless, she has become a a great success in the DA ranks. It was Aether's strike team who initially captured Mustang Magus and his children. She was also the one to retrieve Spirit Wind for escort.

Now Aether sails the sky in her small airship known as The Rack with her elite group of monsters and psycopaths. Often, Aether is involved with strike missions such as sabatoge, small team strikes, target extraction, and anything else the elders require. While this has channeled her blood lust, she's still quite insane. She often enjoys toying with victims, capturing random soldiers to subject them to torture and experimentation for her own amusement. The two elder's Aether is known to associate with are Necerion and Jagged.

Name: "Albatross"Race (Race's found here): Teenage Ash DragonAge (Age's for most races here,): 27Gender (Male or Female, obviously): MaleAppearance (Image or description goes here for general description): Quite tall for a teen dragon, Albatross is finely toned and wiry. Scars cover his scales all the way up to his throat.Scales color: GreySpine color: BlackTailspine color: BlackEyes: RedFaction: The Ravenous (DA)

Special Talent: Albatross is known as The Keeper among the ravenous. This is due to his meticulous nature, and organizational skills. As Aether's first mate, he keeps the captain on a regimented schedule of training, torturing, and meeting with select elders. While the captain is away, Albatross keeps the ship and the rest of the crew in line and the ship running smoothly. He's also known to be Aether's good luck charm, hence his name.

Personality: While not as blatantly insane as the rest of the ravenous, Albatross nevertheless has an insatiable hunger for violence. Typically he only partakes in this vice if the captain tells him to, which is fine because he gets his fill just observing her work as well as the work of other key members. He himself is extremely regimented and hates being late or when things don't go as planned. When the captain is not around he becomes tense and irritable, however he is quite carefree (still meticulous) in her presence.

Bio: Albatross was just a run of the mill ash dragon until Aether Scalpel was initiated into the brood. He was assigned to watch over her as she traveled amongst the other broods for training. But as time passed the two grew fond of each other. During training they began to look after one another and protect the other, and both have physical scars that were meant for the other. Throughout the training period, Aether's bloodlust began to wear off on the dragon. Together the two cut a deadly path through the training that each brood had to offer.

Shortly before the war began, Aether was given The Rack as a gift from Necerion. Since then the two have been ghosts in the world. They wreak havoc and have been collecting the psychopaths from the farthest reaches of the world and creating a few themselves. But at the heart of every Ravenous operation, Albatross the Keeper stands firm, guiding every detail and event, loyal only to his captain.

Appearance (Image or description goes here for general description): The Twins look almost completely identical with the exception of mane styles and the style of dress. Both have icy purple stares and white manes. Their faces are exactly identical, the only way to tell the two apart is by dress, mane style, and voice.

Fretele Meu is often noted wearing a small black coat covering most of his body with a pair of black shorts and an old victorian style white puffed shirt, his mane is notably shorter than his sisters but of the exact same white tone.

Sora Mea on the other hand always keeps her mane long and beautiful with a small black bow on top. She's usually in a doll-like black dress with white trim. Her bangs hang just above her eyes.

Special Talent: The twins specific talents are unknown as of yet. What is known is that the twins are sadistically innocent. The trials they endured has left them shattered and insane. When left with a victim, they often exceed Captain Aether's brutal capabilities.

Personality: The twins are incredibly polite and innocent. In most regards they are the epitome of a child. When it comes to blood and violence, they take to it with the curiosity of a child. The two have a strange affection to each other, never seen apart and always within hooves length.

Bio: Aether considers these two gems to be her greatest social experiment. During the early years of their training in the DA, Aether and Albatross took part in a mission to suppress a small zebra tribe uprising. During the operation, Aether came across the tribes nursery. Aether only saw opportunity in these little ones and nabbed every one of them.

After months of personally training the children, the children were put into the crucible. This test involved a series of death matches between the children. Out of all the children, only the twins emerged with bloodstained coats and the smiles of innocence on their faces. The bloodsport these two endured has forever changed them, blood became their life. Since then, these children have been Aether's favorites, often referred to as her children.

In the ranks of the Ravenous, these children are held in high respect for the pain they inflict. At first glance, new recruits often sneer and laugh at the prospect of taking orders from children, but if that behavior continues, the new recruit disappears into the twins playroom.

Appearance: Seven's monstrous nature is only overshadowed by his eerie appearance. This pitch black dragon's form is lithe at first glance, but upon closer inspection it becomes obvious that he is thin but extremely well toned. Scars adorn almost every inch of this dragon, from surgical to to rough, and from small to massive. Seven's claws are sharpened to cut through flesh like butter. His face is a sight to behold. On top of the scars, Seven seems to have stitched his eyelids closed with an X over each eye. His mouth having been cut and open straight down to his neck and cut open past it's normal points along his face, was held together by sets of metal bars. His leathery red wings can barely maintain flight anymore as they have been cut, stitched, torn, and are covered in holes and scars.

Scale color: Coal blackEye Color: UnknownFaction: The Ravenous (DA)

Special Talent: Seven has no breath weapon and very limited flight capability. But he was bred for slaughter and lives for the pain. Also, due to Aether's experimentation on his body, he has gained an extremely high threshold for pain, able to withstand the most major of injuries.

Personality: Masochistic and has no regard for the laws of society and even for the ravenous laws. He often kills without discretion and it's no secret that he has attempted to kill the captain on multiple occasions. Often, Seven has broken the rules and left the ship only to start a slaughter in the docking station, even in dragon's keep.

Bio: Originally part of Occasus' shock trooper brood, Seven was Kromwell back then, just an average member of the brood until sustaining his first major injury. Kromwell sustained a major life threatening injury, impaled through the stomach. Seven had never before felt such a rush as he did when he experienced the pain of near death. Such pleasure soon became a craving he longed for. After returning to duty, Seven was a changed dragon, he had taken to self mutilation and recklessness in combat. Time and time again he emerged from battle getting pleasure out of each wound inflicted on him, though few could penetrate his hide with his natural talent. With every mortal wound he grew ever more insubordinate and violent. Before long, he had taken to challenging his own men and butchering them. In a mad fit, Seven attacked his own brood in cold blood, just waiting for the rush... for the pain. His batallion sustained heavy losses... After finally being subdued, the dragon was scheduled to be executed... until the Ravenous stepped in and drafted him. Since then Seven has served as the Ravenous premier melee monster.

Over the years Aether has used him as the bases for her anatomical studies of dragon's, which suits his masochistic nature. These experiments have ranged from cutting him open to toying with his brain, all the while he has remained conscious.

Seven's face is a result of self mutilation, the stitches keeping his eyes shut are to give his opponent an edge and a better chance to mortally wound him. He likes to toy with his prey and take as many injuries as he can sustain.
